Hermès Paris 1960s Equestrian Horse Head Letter Opener – Made in France

CA$1,095.00

A finely detailed Hermès Paris equestrian-themed letter opener, beautifully formed with a sculptural horse head handle and a long, tapered blade. Elegant, functional, and distinctly Hermès, this piece reflects the maison’s deep association with equestrian design and refined desk accessories.

The handle is cast in the form of a horse’s head, with raised detailing throughout the mane, facial features, bridle-like contours, and textured surface. The design has a strong sculptural presence, giving the piece appeal both as a usable desk accessory and as a decorative collectible object. The horse head rises from an oval base, leading into a slim, elongated blade with a rounded pointed tip.

The underside is stamped HERMÈS PARIS and MADE IN FRANCE, along with the Hermès-style maker’s/device mark. The piece shows a polished silver-tone finish with natural surface wear, scratches, light oxidation, and age-appropriate patina throughout, consistent with use as a vintage desk accessory.

A sophisticated Hermès object for the collector, ideal for a gentleman’s desk, library, office, or equestrian-themed interior.
